How do I get trained/certified on the tools?

The SMFL does not typically hold tool training sessions. Users are encouraged to;

Read the manual for the tool they are interested in. Most all can be found on the Tool Pages.

Operate the tool under the supervision of a certified user.

Once the user feels they think they know the operation of the tool, they may request to be certified by the Tool or Process Engineers

Print out a copy of the Tool Certification Form and bring it to be signed off at your certification session. Turn it in to T. Grimsley when you are done. You will then be enabled on that tool in the cardswipe system.

The users will be tested in a lab practical format using the Tool Certification Checklist. These can also be found on the individual Tool Pages
